Hardware and Cubicle Restoration
The summer holidays and a half term breaks give the perfect opportunity to take care of routine maintenance and restore areas of the washroom that have submitted to on-going wear and tear. Utilising these periods of downtime, when the washrooms have little to no traffic, can drastically prolong the usable life of your washroom and keep them looking fresh, clean and attractive.
Keep An Eye On Those Hinges
Cubicle hinges see a lot of use over the course of a school year and if there are any that need replacing, they should be done so as soon as possible to prevent the spread of damage. A loose or broken hinge adds further strain on the partnering door hinge, which can cause further damage to the actual cubicle door. It’s advisable to retain a supply of spares on site for such instances so that that can be swiftly replaced on demand.
Cubicles & Wall Panels
If any of your cubicle doors, partitions or wall panels are damaged and showing signs of swelling or water ingress, now is the time to nip this deterioration in the bud and replace. Individual panels can be obtained and even replacing whole cubicles is a relatively straightforward process.

Latches & Locks
Cubicle door furniture are one of those things that also need regular replacement due to accidental damage. Whether you just need to replace a new keep for a cubicle lock or want to replace the entire sliding lock, the upkeep of your washroom cubicles needn’t entail a complete refit of its hardware. If locks have been pulled out from the door and screw holes will no longer take, alternative locks may allow you to cover existing screw holes at the same time as creating a new fixing.
The Simplicity of Hardware Packs
Our hardware packs are an easy way to replace all the door furniture on a cubicle and include locks, hinges, support legs and partition channel fixings. New hardware on your cubicles is also a great way to freshen up a tired washroom. Aluminium and powder coated options are available and can be used to tie the cubicles into other items in your washroom such as door handles, hand dryers, urinals and wash troughs. Hardware packs also have the added bonus of matching completely, saving you from that mis-matched finish you sometimes get from trying to match in replacement fittings to those that are existing.
Overhauling taps
A leaking tap can waste an incredible amount of water over time. Switching a tap over can be straightforward enough and in most cases you can find those to match your existing ones. However, overhauling all of your washroom taps can deliver you economic savings in the long run, both from preventing future wear and tear and individual replacement jobs, but also by significantly reducing your water usage. Sensor and non-concussive taps restrict the water used and prevent the likelihood of flood damage and water wastage. These benefits can be reason enough to upgrade, but both tap otions also offer improved hygiene to your facilities as well.
Cleaning & Routine Maintenance
Of course prevention is always the best course of action and routine deep cleaning and maintenance is a great plan of attack. Checking the tightness of fixings and screws, the mechanisms of locks and moving parts, as well as deep cleaning tight nooks and crannies all work towards extending the life of your washroom. Scheduling the time to carry out these procedures ahead of ordering replacement parts is advisable to aid your restoration process.
